    I don’t know how terrifying its origin is when I watch the film. I was deeply deceived by the shooting and the tragedy behind it. In terms of quality, this picture about a hundred years ago is not much different from today’s documentary, but after a friend told me, I learned that the tragedy that happened to the Nanuk family because of participating in the filming made the patience and order in the picture unworthy. Mention. The Nanuk family doesn't need this movie, but the world needs it to...

    It can be clearly seen from the film that many scenes are staged. After this criticism is removed, it is still a very magical film, the "real" embodiment of the life scenes of the Nanuk family, and the originator of the...

    The film is very film and television anthropology, and because it is a silent film, it looks awkward and cute, and the unique theme of the Askimo people makes it a director. What many people don't know is that Nannock died of starvation two years after the film won numerous awards. The nations that have been made into anthropological documentaries and anthropologically studied are in some kind of disadvantage, and to break this situation, they have to wait for an Inuit director to speak their...

After the foundation stone of news films and scenic films, Vlahadi used travelogue to save the spiritual world of the audience after the First World War. Although the superiority of the barbarians and the curiosity of other cultures are uncomfortable, the image of Thoreau's "noble barbarian" similar to Thoreau will make the middle-class intellectuals across the ages feel uncomfortable....

    Flaherty's ability to present the environment in the right way is simply outstanding, and the unmistakable participation of the characters in the mirror brings the image to life. Leaving aside the ethical issues inherent in ethnographic films, Nanook's "documentary nature" is clearly enough to serve as a textbook for many contemporary...

    About Nanook of the North

    Ostensibly the story of a great hunter, Nanuk, the brave leader of the Inuit. But to a large extent, Nanook is also a "creation" of Flaherty.
